Lyrics The Great Disappointment - AFI

The Great Disappointment

I can remember, a place I used to go
Crysanthemums of White, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, searched for the Amaranth
I’d shut my eyes, to see
Oh how I smiled then, so near the cherrished ones
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one
Oh how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
I’d make a wish, and bleed
While I waited
I was wasting away
While I waited
I was wasting away
I can remember, dremt them so vividly
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
I can remember, when I first realized
Dreams were the only place, to see them
While I waited
I was wasting away
While I waited
I was wasting away
While I waited
I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away
Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, from the start i’d been decieved, never never wanted
this
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this all
Never ever wanted this, from the start i’d been decieved, never never wanted
this all
Inside a crumbling effigy
(But you promised)
So died all innocence
(But you promised)
Me
While I waited
I was wasting away
While I waited
I was wasting away
While I waited
I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away
